Pamela Geller, Hero

Most people don't say a single word against Islam or Jihad. Most don't even say a word against ISIS. But some people do so on a daily basis. And Very few people continue to do so after surviving a jihadist attack. And then there's Pamela Geller. She survived a jihadist attack, she is specifically named by ISIS in their death threats, and yet she hasn't missed a beat in writing against this enemy on a daily basis. She does this, not as if her life depends on it, but because she knows it Does depend on it. What is life without freedom, without our ability to speak our mind, to tell the truth, to expose evil, to counter bad ideas with good ones? The Only way our military is Ever going to be Allowed to Finally do their job and defeat this very defeatable enemy is if the truth about it is made so nakedly obvious to all, that even blinkered politicians won't be able to deny it. That will force them to have to finally unleash our military against jihad, or else they'll be out of power, which, for them, is a fate worse than death. When they can no longer get away with not doing their job of protecting the American people, they'll do it. And it'll be people like Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, and a few others, who will make this a reality one day. I already did a drawing of Robert Spencer a few years ago, and I think it was about time that I did one of Pamela Geller. And to emphasize her heroism, I drew a comic book superhero version of her.

P.S. Here's the latest outrage on our government's response- or lack thereof- to the Garland attack.

I’m an Eisner nominated cartoonist and my current work is my series, The Infidel, featuring Pigman. I have three chapters currently available on Amazon Kindle and ComiXology.
I’m the winner of the AFDI Mohammad Cartoon Contest organized by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, where two jihadists attempted to murder as many of us as they could, but were cut down by a cop in Garland, Texas. The attack made the contest far bigger than it would have been otherwise and helped expose far too many among us to be enemies of free speech. It’s a sad day in America when I felt the need to tweet that “I’m a Radical for Free Speech”. I appeared on a number of TV news shows after the attack, but they refused to show my winning cartoon, so I decided not to appear any longer without it. The contest and the attack brought my work great attention, good and bad, including death threats, and has now afforded me opportunities to reach a bigger audience. I recently signed a contract with a book publisher for a big project that will be announced in 2016. Stay tuned.
Update: I appeared on John Stossel’s Fox News Special, “Censored in America”, with my winning cartoon.
